One file per word
Every word and every work is a document of its own, with the text, the source and the credits. A correction or a new text doesn't touch the rest of the collection.
Gallurese lives in the homes, the villages and the stazzi, but also on thousands of pages: dictionaries, grammars, magazines, poetry collections, literary competitions, blogs. Those pages are scattered, and often hard to find and to read together.
Gallura.net brings them together in one place, with one simple rule: every word and every text carries its source. Readers can always go back to the original publication, the author and the translator.

One method, three commitments
Always cite
Every entry and every work names the source consulted and, where possible, the page or passage.
Don't correct the sources
The spellings of villages and eras stay as they were written. Uncertainties stay declared, and are not resolved at random.
Credit who wrote it
Authors and translators are named on every page. The works remain theirs.
How it's built
One Go binary, a read-only snapshot
An import checks everything and builds a SQLite snapshot from it. One Go program serves all the sites from that, and search goes through an index, so no request scans the whole dictionary.
Only what is documented
Its own morphology engine recognises word forms by the 2024 spelling standard. It reads only forms found in the sources and never makes up a conjugation.
A collection to build together
